Description
Abstract:
Addressing the open questions of the Standard Model requires experimental exploration with both higher precision and access to new energy scales. The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is proposed at CERN as a long-term programme combining electron–positron (FCC-ee) and proton–proton (FCC-hh) collider stages to meet this goal. The FCC-hh is designed to significantly extend the energy reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While earlier design studies aimed for operation at 100 TeV, the current baseline scenario foresees collisions at 84 TeV, determined by the optimized 91 km tunnel layout and advances in magnet technology. As one of the most ambitious scientific endeavours of this century, the FCC-hh offers unprecedented opportunities to uncover new phenomena through direct searches and precision measurements, and thus to shed light on questions that will remain open after the completion of the HL-LHC and FCC-ee programmes.
The seminar will present an overview of the extensive physics potential of the FCC-hh, highlighting key benchmark studies with a specific focus on Higgs precision measurements, and outlining the opportunities and experimental challenges of a programme extending far beyond current explorations.
